Mobile technologies have advanced enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve certainly faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Archos Diamond Gamma 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to Archos Diamond Gamma 4G technology in the following article.
Does the Archos Diamond Gamma have 4G?
Yes. Archos has included 4G in Archos Diamond Gamma phone.
How to check the availability of 4G on Archos Diamond Gamma
There are a number of ways to check the availability of 4G in your Archos Diamond Gamma, or any other phone. And presuming you’re not a techy person , I suggest that you start by checking the phone package, network information is usually provided there. Or you can simply search on google using your phone model name and figure out the information on the official website of the manufacturer.
If you have already bought the phone and inserted the SIM card, you can turn on the mobile data, if the phone connects to a 4G network you will notice a 4G ot LTE sign up on the notification bar.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and search for network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone supports 4G you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone doesn’t have the technology.
How to switch to 4G on Archos Diamond Gamma?
If you would like to switch on your Archos Diamond Gamma 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Select Settings.
3- Choose Wireless & networks.
4- Select Dual Cards & Mobile Networks.
5- Verify that the Mobile data is on.
6- Tap “More…”.
7- Choose Preferred network type.
8- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G).
What 4G is on Archos Diamond Gamma?
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation almost every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially introduced in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made available in all inhabited areas. And by “they” we mean all phone carriers around the globe.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) guidelines. According to the ITU, a 4G labeled technology has fast internet speeds, reaching ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were referred as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on Archos Diamond Gamma
4G has all the features of 3G at more speed. It allows download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it provides more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, ranging from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very vital for some use cases such as video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and browse the internet concurrently, with even improved voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with Archos Diamond Gamma 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your Archos Diamond Gamma
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is quantified in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are used for different reasons besides 4G (television broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is important to determine which frequencies must be used for what use. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU designated each range of frequencies (called bands) to certain uses.
What you should consider as a user of Archos Diamond Gamma, is whether it supports the bands present in your area by your local mobile provider or not. The Archos Diamond Gamma4G-enabled bands are :
1, 3, 7, 20;.
